Type-0 localization nearly completed last year

While any confirmation of localization on Final Fantasy Type-0 remains up in the air, fans around the globe have expressed a strong interest in seeing the game on their shores. One group devoted to this is Operation Suzaku, and today, they provided some interesting new details on the localization process after speaking with those who worked on the project.

“According to our source, who recorded voice-over for one of the characters in the game, at least 90% of the English localization is complete. The dubbing sessions took place in the last quarter of 2011, just after the release (October 27th) of Final Fantasy Type-0 in Japan. The entirety of the English dub recording is said to be complete.”

It may seem strange that Square Enix is sitting on the game with localization nearly finished, but consider the release window for the game. In the face of increasingly diminished returns on their PSP titles towards the end of the generation, and marketing and distribution costs, it’s quite tangible that Square Enix projected a net loss and shelved the game.

However, Square Enix is still keeping their eyes and ears open for fan support — so if you want to see Final Fantasy Type-0 release, Twitter and Facebook are a good first option!
